It seems more and more that we live in a sue happy society. I do not believe that following the Lord’s command to forgive means being a door mat. Jesus was certainly not that. But if we are honest, our motivations are often worldly. And for the Believer these our motivation is Christ only always! We are called and empowered to live above the things of this world. The apostle Paul reminds us that the world is blinded to truth.
2 Corinthians 4:4-5 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
We must always remember we represent the Lord who died for ALL who will come. His call to the one with whom we struggle may just come from this time of strife. Wouldn’t that be worth the cost?
For the believer, to live is Christ… the mission never changes. Whatever we do we represent Him to this world.
All for Jesus
Pastor Jeff
